The following terms and conditions (the “Terms”) apply to all services provided by Elster Intelligence GmbH (seat in Berlin, registered with the commercial register of the Local Court (Amtsgericht) Berlin-Charlottenburg as HRB 230582 B) (“Daito” or “we/us”) to you.

Daito Service

Subscription

The Daito Authenticator Service means a web-based two-factor authentication software as a service. Daito grants to you a personal, limited, non-exclusive and non-transferable right to access and use the Daito Authenticator Service in accordance with the Terms and any applicable laws, rules and regulations. The right is valid only during the term of your subscription.

Upgrade Releases

Daito may from time to time, at its sole discretion, make and implement upgrade releases to the Daito Authenticator Service, i.e. improved releases of the Daito Authenticator Service which include routine corrections of known deficiencies and errors and are generally made available to clients of Daito. Unless Daito, acting reasonably, deems it unnecessary, each Upgrade Release shall be accompanied by documentation informing you of the problems resolved, and/or the feature enhancements, as applicable, including any significant operational differences resulting from the release which are known to Daito. Daito shall have right to decide on when and whether to implement an upgrade release.

Additional Software Releases

Additional software releases, i.e. new software releases that are not upgrade releases, may be developed and released by Daito at its sole discretion. Unless otherwise explicitly agreed in relation to a specific additional software release, the additional software releases are not deemed to be included in the Daito Authenticator Service and are not thus covered by your subscription.

You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free right to use, copy, modify and otherwise exploit your data for the purposes of providing the Daito Authenticator Service to you. We may use anonymized data for benchmarking, internal analytics and to improve our services unless you explicitly opt-out to such usage by sending an email to privacy@daito.io.

Illegal Data or Content

Where there is substantiated evidence that your data or content is illegal or being used in illicit activities, we reserve the right to block access to such data.

Term and Termination

When you sign up to one of our products, you agree to the fixed term of the relevant service stated in the service description displayed in the payment process. In case we do not state a specific term in our signup process, the standard fixed term for our services is one month starting at the day of the signup. The fixed term of the service shall automatically renew for successive renewal periods of the same length unless terminated.

Termination

The subscription can be terminated at any time to the end of the agreed fixed term or – during a renewal period – to the end of a calendar month by sending a termination notice [in text form] to support@daito.io. The right to termination the agreement for good cause remains unaffected. If we terminated your account, you are not allowed to sign up again without our explicit prior written consent.

Limitation of Liability, No Warranty

  • You accept that except as otherwise expressly agrees, the Daito Authentication Service and any other products and services provided by Daito under the Terms are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. Except as otherwise expressly agreed, Daito makes no warranties, express or implied, and expressly disclaims any implied or express warranties and conditions of non-infringement, correctness, availability, merchantability, and fitness for particular purpose.

  • Daito is fully liable for malice and gross negligence. Daito is fully liable for slight negligence in case of damage to life, body and health.

  • Daito shall also be liable for slight negligence in case of violations of a substantial contractual commitment (cardinal duty) whose fulfilment itself enables the correct implementation of the service and in whose adherence you can trust. In these cases, Daito’s liability is limited to damages which are foreseeable and typical.

  • Daito is only liable for loss of data according to the paragraphs above if such a loss was not avoidable through appropriate data security measures on your part. This limitation of liability shall not apply insofar as Daito has taken over the responsibility for the data back-up.

  • Daito is not liable for Force Majeure Events, which make the service covered by the subscription impossible or fundamentally hinder, or temporarily impede, the correct implementation of the service. “Force Majeure Events” shall mean all events and circumstances that are beyond the will and influence of the parties, such as war and other military conflicts, natural disasters or other serious and/or unforeseeable circumstances of no fault of the contractual parties.

  • Daito shall not be liable for errors in the transmission of data which are caused outside of Daito’s sphere of responsibility or control. This shall in particular apply for errors in the compilation of data and erroneous configurations by you.

  • Otherwise, Daito’s liability shall be excluded.

Confidentiality

Each party shall keep in confidence all material and information received from the other party and marked as confidential or which should be understood to be confidential, and may not use such material or information for any other purposes than those set forth in the Terms and only to the extent necessitated by the Terms and the subscription and shall have the right to disclose the said material and information to its employees, subcontractors and/or advisors only on a need-to-know basis provided, however, that they are obligated to keep the material and information in confidence and may not use them for any other purpose than the purpose of the Terms and the subscription. Our data and information derived from the services constitutes our valuable trade secret and shall be treated confidential. The confidentiality obligation shall, however, not be applied to material and information (i) which is generally available or otherwise public, (ii) which the party has received from a third party without any obligation of confidentiality, (iii) which was in the possession of the receiving party prior to receipt of the same from the other party without any obligation of confidentiality related thereto, (iv) which a party has developed independently without using material or information received from the other party, and/or (v) which a party shall disclose pursuant to a law, decree or other order issued by the authorities or a judicial order.

Change of Terms

We may change these Terms & Conditions provided that the change does not have any impact on the contractual content that is material for the provision of our services and their equivalent price. We will inform you about such changes in text form, inter alia via email to the address provided by you. If you do not expressly disagree in writing within four weeks after receipt of the change notice, the change will be deemed to be effective and from this point in time, the changed version of the Terms will govern your use of our service. We will inform you about this consequence in our notification.

Miscellaneous

Severability

Each paragraph and provision of these Terms is severable, and if one or more paragraphs, provisions or sections are declared invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect, and if any provision is inapplicable to any person or circumstance it shall nevertheless remain applicable to all other persons and circumstances. The parties undertake to negotiate in good faith for the replacement of such provision with a valid and enforceable provision. The failure of the parties to reach an agreement on a replacing provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining part of these Terms.
